TRNSMT fans shake off Scotland loss in sun-soaked Fratellis sing-a-long

TRNSMT fans have been able to shake off their World Cup disappointment and bask in sunshine as the second day of the festival gets under way.

The event at Glasgow Green was hit with torrential rain throughout Friday into the evening, which culminated in a screening of Scotland's loss to Morocco.

But plenty of saltires and football tops were visible among the crowds, with fans in good voice during a sing-a-long to Chelsea Dagger during a set by The Fratellis.

The second day is headlined by rock band Kasabian, with performances from the likes of DJ Sonny Fedora, Mercury Music Prize winners English Teacher and West Lothian guitar band The Snuts.

On Friday the festival saw thousands of fans stay behind on Glasgow Green to watch Steve Clarke's men in action on big screens.

However it was a subdued atmosphere by the end of the night, after an early goal by Morocco's Ismael Saibari.

Festival organisers DF Concerts had secured a late licence for the night, and the company's event manager Kat Linguard told BBC Scotland News about 10,000 fans stayed on site to watch the game.

She said: "We were a bit uncertain how many fans would stay on, particularly with the rain, but the Hampden roar was here in the way that we hoped.

"It felt like the high from seeing your favourite bands rolled into the football really well. I think it was a really extra special moment for the fans - we had people of all ages coming along and it was a good community feel, united around Scotland."

Bright spirits have abounded on so far on Saturday, although the festival is noticeably quieter so far than in previous years.

Whether that is due to fans deciding to arrive later while shaking off hangovers after the football or due to attendance being down is unclear so far.

West Lothian band The Snuts are third from top of the bill, and told BBC Scotland News they are eyeing up a headline slot in the future.

Bassist Callum Wilson said: "It's one of those festivals that we have aged along with, from our first slot when we were 18.

"We've come back every couple of years and it's been really nice to just progress and put on a bigger show every time. It's always the dream to headline a festival like this."

Singer Jack Cochrane added: "It's really essential now, as it's the only big festival in Scotland where you have that experience of progressing up the stages."

The duo said the band's newly announced fourth album Joy In Short Moments will reflect the group becoming fathers, and how that has changed their lives.

On the smaller King Tut's Stage, Big Special, who hail from the West Midlands, declared Glasgow to be "the Birmingham of Scotland", before delivering an abrasive set of rock, hip hop and soul.

The band - singer Joe Hicklin and drummer Callum Moloney - later told BBC Scotland News they feel the two cities have much in common.

"They're both the second cities of each country, they have these industrial roots and there's a part where they deal with a snobbishness from other places to them. There's also a similar sense of humour with them", said Moloney.

Moloney said he felt there was a "sense of loss" among the crowd after the football result but the audience soon warmed up as they played.

"By the time we walked off folk were screaming and it's always a class crowd - especially in the sun."

On the Main Stage, local heroes The Fratellis sparked one of the day's biggest sing-a-longs with Chelsea Dagger, having also covered Tartan Army anthem Yes Sir I Can Boogie earlier on, while English Teacher's wiry post-punk was warmly received by a somewhat small crowd.

Glasgow band Twin Atlantic performed a secret set on the festival's Hangout stage after a band listed as Triplet Pacific was listed as performing there.

The event will continue on Sunday, where Lewis Capaldi tops the bill.
